I think about this conversation from Corambis chapter 7 constantly and was sad that I never finished the more detailed version I had planned, so I repurposed it into a cute little experiment.

Please enjoy this bonus Felix face from the first draft. He is my favorite.

Character asks: Maia - 12; Felix Harrowgate - 31; Butler - 17 and 35 please :D

12. Crack headcanon (Maia)

Boy's tall. Idk if that's canon or not, or how much of a crack headcanon it is, but like. His grandfather apparently towered over everyone, and I think it would be funny if Maia also becomes incredibly tall and no one really notices. He's still very quiet and polite and shy, so he just kind of looks like an awkward and adorable beanpole and no one thinks much of it. And then one day he goes full Edrahasivar VII and just dominates the entire room. Suddenly everyone is very aware that their Emperor is at Hozier-levels of tallness, and can very easily look down on damn near anyone he pleases. (After Maia is done putting the fear of the gods into whomever irritated him, he looks around and everyone is staring at him wide-eyed, suddenly remembering that this is the Emperor and not just some stand-in, and Maia has no idea how to react except to very politely ask Csevet to fetch everyone some calming tea)

31. If the had a tumblr what would it look like? (Felix Harrowgate)

Oh god. At first, before the events of the series, it's a collection of holier-than-thou vagueposts and long essays about obscure magical texts, and some length arguments about how wrong some of those texts are. Occasional vanity selfies, the kind where he pretends it wasn't a selfie and was just a casual picture someone happened to take of his best angle, while he was wearing his best jacket and had his hair just so.

Then shit goes down for him, and while he doesn't use tumblr much during his bout of madness, the few times he does it's to post borderline incomprehensible ramblings about the animal heads around him and what that means and the fantome in the tower and other such things, that those who followed him are all like. "Uh. you good, bro?" (he doesn't answer and disappears for another three months before his next post about the ghosts in the maze).

After the Troia adventure, there's a lot of the same kind of long-winded magical essays and arguments, but now they've shifted from being obscure topics to being slightly taboo topics. Lots of aesthetic pictures where he wonders if anyone else can see the ghosts or the noirance, and people start to think he's trolling.

In exile, again, long bout of ghosting. When he starts posting again, it consists of a lot of aesthetic pics of foxes and the Corambis countryside. There's yet more magical essays (he cannot shut up for the life of him) but they're not nearly as aggressive now, and seem more like someone wanting to share cool information rather than prove how much better and smarter he is than everyone else.

He's blocked anything to do with rubies.

17. Quotes, songs, poems, etc. that I associate with them (Butler)

Honestly it really depends on what AU/ fic I'm fixating on. There's not really a hard-and-fast "oh yes this is The Blorbo through-and-through!" thing for him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

35. Their idea of a perfect day (Butler)

April 25, not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket

Sorry. Anyways. Early morning, bit of time to himself to enjoy his coffee while he makes plans for the day. Bit of work to keep the mind occupied, interspersed with some cooking or gardening (or both, getting veggies from the garden to cook with). Someone decides to fuck around with his Principal in the afternoon, so he has a chance to be threatening and punch someone and generally engage in his dramatic side, but nothing that involves actual physical harm to his charge or himself. Then some meditation to calm down, and a chance to read his book before bed.

“I really think if he’d thought he could get me to go along with it, he would’ve challenged me to a duel. But I ain’t a gentleman, and duels are just fancy knife fights and just as fucking stupid.”

[not-poignant]

I think it will come as no surprise to anyone that I love gremlin man Astarion (also known as vampire Dorian Pavus no I'll be accepting no constructive criticism at this time) and think about ways to fic him all the time.

It cracks me up that like, Reddit threads are a mix of 'I kill him ASAP' 'I never take him anywhere' and then folks like me who are like 'he's always on my party I would die for him.'

Also it's really not that hard to play a hero, save everyone, have him in your party 24/7 and keep his approval up you just gotta be willing to trick a whole bunch of villains into killing themselves through wordplay and you're golden dsalkjfsa

Relevant to a recent post, I have started reading Doctrine of Labyrinths because of you! I just finished book two and I am staggered by how much this series appeals to my id.

went fishing through my pictures folder for way too long specifically to find this image that I knew I had already created

doctrine of labyrinths is deeply precious to me. reading it as a depressed thirteen year old changed me irrevocably. not sure if it was for the better or not but it certainly did something to my brain chemistry

[just-eyeballs]

I started reading Doctrine of Labyrinths after seeing it mentioned in the TLT sub and here are my thoughts so far:

Overall the vibe is “dark 90s yaoi” (over-the-top Bad Ex Boyfriend with huge hands and all)

Wow, this book has a Harrow and a Gideon AND an Ianthe…?

Wow, this was just re-released for ebook LAST MONTH?

The Tumblr fandom for this is much larger than I expected, how have I never heard of this before?

When will the suffering END?

I need to read this entire thing as quickly as possible and then probably twice.

not only would cyril depaul and felix harrowgate fucking each other make them worse, they would also be weirdly sexually compatible

[whoredmode]

this area right here in sr2.

this is where the old police station was in sr1, the long-abandoned station the saints take from the vice kings. and i wanna bring it up bc there is something i’ve had a suspicion about forever but never saw anyone bring it up. so i went to answer it myself and i was RIGHT.

so in the ultor exposed DLC, this is one of the locations where ultor was burying dead bodies. which means they tore it down to use the land to cover their tracks. unsurprising, obviously, but a detail that’s never expressly stated.

which got me wondering. what about the other two lots?

the left images are an empty lot in sunnyvale, and the right images are a construction site in harrowgate. in sr2, both make sense as just more empty land that ultor owns.

in sr1, the sunnyvale location is still just an empty lot. the harrowgate one, or as close as we can approximate given that the map does noticeably change in this area by sr2, is interestingly enough the shipping yard where we have a mission w julius and troy early on in-game.

so all that to say. i just think this is a really fascinating subtle detail that you dig up bodies in the lot where the abandoned station was, and once again just goes to show the care that went into the first two games. and i’m glad i was right in my theory about the location lmao i love that vindication. most importantly tho, this is great news for my LoP story in my canon. bc i think chantal (my tera-like character) brings both anteros and troy out to the lot to show them the bodies. and troy recognizing immediately where they are, realizing just how deeply involved he's becoming in this...just such a stark visual in my mind.
